DUST Search - Question to the Community SCOUTS

KING CHECKMATE wrote:

I want to ask the people of the community that OFTEN use scouts and DEDICATED scouts a couple of questions.
I just want to understand how the Med Frame HP race affected scouts and if its being reversed or thanks to the new slots , worsened...

First Question:
What kind of scout are you?
1 - E-War Specialist (uses more than -+ of their slots for Dampening/Precision/R.Range)
2 - Light Profile-Dampened Assault (Usually Tanked. used as an assault fit with minimal E-war advantages)
3 - Speed Tanker (using 2 or more Complex Kin cats.)(to complement CQ weapons most of the times...)
4- New Breed (Will be a dedicated scout for the first time in 1.8)
5- Other (please specify - stupid answers are to be avoided if possible)

Second Question:
What Kind of weapon do you prefer killing with?
1- Light weapons
2- Sidearms
3- Nova Knives
4- R/E or Grenades

Last question:
What Scout Dropsuit will you use as MAIN after 1.8 hits?
1-Gallente / Best Profile Dampened suit + Good Radar Range
2-Caldari / Best Passive Scanner capabilities + Good Radar range/Precision
3-Minmatar / Best Nova Knifer in the game + Good for infiltration purposes with Bonus to hacking
4-Amarr / Small Stamina Bonus + Good Base Stats. Probably Good For Light Assault Fits.

TY for your answers :3
Will pay you for your answers with a +1

NOTE: My answers are:
1 / 2 / 1

Overall answers (Will be updates as frequently as possible while the thread is active):
Scout type:
1 - E-War Specialist GÖª GÖª GÖª GÖª GÖª GÖª GÖª GÖª GÖª
2 - Light Profile-Dampened Assault GÖª GÖª GÖª GÖª GÖª GÖª GÖª GÖª
3 - Speed Tanker GÖª GÖª GÖª GÖª GÖª GÖª GÖª
4- New Breed GÖª GÖª
5- Other GÖª GÖª

Preferred weapon:
1- Light weapons GÖª GÖª GÖª GÖª GÖª GÖª GÖª GÖª GÖª GÖª GÖª GÖª GÖª GÖª
2- Sidearms GÖª GÖª GÖª GÖª GÖª GÖª
3- Nova Knives GÖª GÖª GÖª GÖª GÖª GÖª GÖª
4- R/E or Grenades GÖª GÖª

Primary suit after 1.8:
1-Gallente GÖª GÖª GÖª GÖª GÖª GÖª GÖª GÖª GÖª GÖª
2-Caldari GÖª GÖª GÖª GÖª GÖª GÖª
3-Minmatar GÖª GÖª GÖª GÖª GÖª GÖª GÖª
4-Amarr GÖª GÖª GÖª GÖª GÖª

AT THE MOMENT: I can still see SOME Med frame influence (Assault scouts,Light weapons, Armor tanking capable suits).
I could say for the most part as it is,that scouts have a decent variety of play styles...
Also, many people looking to achieve Optimal Speeds seem to have presence here. With decent amount of speed tankers and Minmatar Scouts.
Im surprised the 2 new scout fits are not winning by a large margin, but i do understand why.

(1 enhanced precision, 1 enhanced damp and 1 enhanced cardiac regulator) A mix of NK, SMG, RE and CR. Shotty every now and then depending on map. Idk it's a tie but I use REs on all my suits. I'll be using Minmatar. I prefer the speed style gameplay from my love of racing games, to when I made basketball players on 2K and my fascination with Bruce Lee and Jet Li. (fast and controlled FTW) I'll try out Min Heavies too but will mostly stay with Min Assault and Min Scout. (wish my sidearm bonus was still there :( sidearm is my favorite main gun sometimes)

What kind of scout are you? 5- Other: Armor tanked with logi support (Yeah, it works just as you would expect) What Kind of weapon do you prefer killing with? 1- Light weapons (Assault Rifle) What Scout Dropsuit will you use as MAIN after 1.8 hits? 1-Gallente (Gallente all the way, AR and all) 5/1/1 One match I had him equip 4 complex plates to his proto suit and he didn't die the entire match because people underestimated his armor level. Not to mention the fact that they don't slow you down that much on a scout lol His normal fitting is 1 complex extender, 2 plates, 1 repper, 1 sprint mod, a duvolle, and an injector. At least I think... Links: List of Most Important Threads I make logistics videos!

Things bore me quickly so i tend to swap out things ALOT. I might run novas one day and laser rifles the next. I kinda like being super ninja, but running kincats is alot more fun because you have to force encounters, and can use your higher scan profile to allow the enemy to come o you :D Under 28db Officially nerfproof (predicting CR nerf February '14) I have a God, His name is Dakka.

Clone D Grundstein Automation 71	Posted - 2014.01.25 07:30:00 - [48] - Quote If you have level 3 profile dampening or higher, then you can take any light/scout suit and slap 1 militia profile dampener on it and achieve a 35.55 db scan profile. That's enough to avoid non-aurum adv active scanners (36 db). I frequently use a super cheap build, and variations of it, and achieve 10+ kills and WP of 1000+ Basic dropsuit MIlitia Minmitar Light Frame Militia Scrambler Pistol Militia Scrambler Pistol Flux Grenade Militia Drop Uplink Militia Profile Dampener Militia Codebreaker Play Pointers Avoid open spaces and if spotted, let enemies come to you while you take cover. Secure an area and hack everything starting with reanimation units. Drop the uplink in a secure area nearby so that if you get killed then you don't have to traverse the map to get back. Grow accustomed to counting your bullets and swapping weapons as soon as your primary is out, or one bullet before. Always keep your pistols loaded. Grundstein Automation

ANON Cerberus Tiny Toons 145	Posted - 2014.01.25 09:00:00 - [54] - Quote I used to be a fast shotgun scout in chrome. It worked well. I stopped using the scout once AA arrived. Recently I pulled out the dragonfly scout and went to town again with a shotgun and kin cats , I had mixed results. The only time I can seem to hit or do enough damage with the shotgun is when people are point blank, like the end of my shotgun is touching them. People can just backpedal and move out of range very easily if they see you. With the advent of scanners it really kills stealthy gameplay and my suit just cant have speed and dampening. I already have such a small amount of hit points.

Shutter Fly Molon Labe. Public Disorder. 216	Posted - 2014.01.25 10:00:00 - [58] - Quote I'd say I'm something like: 2,5/1/1,2 I almost never use KCs, CRs, or profile related mods on my scouts, but I wouldn't say I tank them in terms of eHP either. I mostly run a rep based scout, keeping with the idea behind the scout back in beta being a hit and run scrapper rather than a ninja. My fittings will see a lot of improvement in 1.8 for obvious reasons (dat Caldari scout/dem Gallente reps). As for weapons, Shotgun or Combat Rifle, and I almost never use a sidearm outside of PC. I'm good with a ScP, but I always find myself going back to the shotgun.
